Lee Won-taek, governor of Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province, held a press conference at the provincial government office on Oct 6 to mark 100 days in office, according to Yonhap and the headlines of Newsis and Seoul Shinmun. He said next year's budget and organisation would be prepared on the basis of how much they help residents' income and happiness, population and the local economic ecosystem. [ 2 , 3 , 4 ]
Lee defined felt growth as growth in which residents' jobs, income and living conditions actually improve, and said the past 100 days had set the standard for it, Yonhap reported. He said he would build a virtuous cycle in which companies, agriculture, culture and talent in the province grow on their own and the results accumulate locally and are reinvested. The goals he listed included expanding a corporate growth ladder, creating a 5 trillion won felt-growth fund in stages, fostering a Jeonbuk-style local franchise programme, raising farm and fisher income by linking production, processing, distribution and sales, fleshing out plans for sunlight and wind income villages and a pension city, and strengthening welfare and care for vulnerable groups. Kukmin Ilbo headlined the announcement around the 5 trillion won growth fund and a Saemangeum robot special zone. [ 1 , 2 ]
On future industries, he cited securing 736.8 billion won over five years for physical AI and robot budgets, the designation of a semiconductor materials, parts and equipment specialised complex, the selection of green hydrogen, physical AI and hemp as three growth engines, and 10.2349 trillion won in national budget reflected in the government's proposal, according to Yonhap. [ 2 ]
He also described as major progress the confirmed establishment of a national medical graduate school in Namwon and the conversion of Namwon Medical Center into the National Medical Center's Namwon Hospital. [ 2 ]
Lee said he would respond actively to the government's second relocation of public institutions and push to win designation as a financial hub by gathering financial institutions, companies and talent around an international financial centre, Yonhap reported. He said he would also work on the 2036 Jeonju Summer Olympics bid and the expansion of Saemangeum International Airport and other infrastructure. [ 2 ]
“Now I will turn the foundation built over 100 days into investment, corporate growth, youth jobs and residents' income,” he was quoted as saying, adding that he would run first so that the results of hard work reach residents' lives. Newsis framed the day's message as policies and execution carried out together with residents, and Seoul Shinmun headlined the felt-growth vision. [ 2 , 3 , 4 ]
Por qué importa
The press conference sets out the policy direction and budget criteria of one of South Korea's largest provincial governments for the coming year. The figures cited for national budget allocations and specialised industrial complexes suggest the province is positioning itself for central government investment, though the documents describe several items as goals rather than completed measures.
